Topic: Has anyone ever made their own manometers ?

[Ausmithe]

Just curious if anyone has any experience with the home made version of the manometers that is described in the Clymer service manual for the 1971-78 CB 350 to 550? I think it would be great if they worked.

someone posted this in the how-to pretty recently.  *goes off to look*

Several threads on this, do a search and they have a lot of pictures and parts lists.

Not to digress, but has any of you tried my suggestion to connect a manometer to the plenum to see if the airfilter element needs to be replaced. I've been too lazy myself but would like to know underpressure values. http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=47771.0

not sure why people bother posting to tell you to search, rather than just posting the link, it takes about the same amount of time... and is helpful.

I've seen a number of semi trucks with those, they don't really tell you anything at idle, you have to wind up the motor under load to create the suction needed to get a reading.
